The history of Thanksgiving dates back to September 8, 1565, or well Known as the first Thanksgiving. The first day of thanks took place in what is now known as Saint Augustine, Florida. It was a traditional reunion to giving gratitude for the year's harvest. For us Canadians, Thanksgiving occurs on the second Monday of every October. It was meant to be celebrated in churches for the Parliament was in reference to God and gave thanks to him. Today the traditional celebration happens in homes in all of Canada as a way to reunite family and a day to give thanks.
That was just a little insite of Thanksgiving so that I can practice my non-fictional writing abilities.
Quote of the day:
"To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do." Victor Hugo
I hope he didn't mean the turkey, because it's already in the oven.
About Me

- Okay, sup? How you doing? Good! But you're probably here to know about me. I'm Sophie and I'm 15, grade 9, Asian, bla bla bla. I like a lot of stuff! Like books, music, MOVIES (if you want to know which ones, just go down to the bottom)! I want to be a director when I grow up, sooooo fun!! And I've got lots of friends, well, not lots, but a fair bit. People call me hard-working, or just a nerd. I am a nerd, a hard-core nerd, you got a problem with that? Good. I'm also just hard-core, I mean, I've got people's backs, I fight for what I believe in, I say what's on my mind, I don't sway with the crowd. Yeah, anything else? If you have any more questions (Which you probably don't, because you probably know me in real life, and you'll know that Sophie Tribiani doesn't exit, at least I hope I didn't steal someone else's name o.O....) Just read some of my posts, I've got lots!
